To think that most people pee in the pool, on holiday? Do you?

Just back from a hot holiday. Hotel had a lovely big pool, with a swim up bar serving all manner of cocktails, wine, beer etc. People would be in the pool for hours drinking, chatting etc. Surely everyone is actually peeing in the pool? And do you?

We call them swim up toilets. If you watch the same people sit there all day drinking and not getting out.

I won't go in a pool with a swim up bar because men definitely piss in it - I have literally seen the water go yellow.

So, you’d have to keep washing your wetsuit after every surf or bodyboard session. How is that practical unless you take spares with you? Also, often they are hired in holiday situations, what sort of person wees in a hired wetsuit?

Not a health risk. Just means the pool operator has to up the chemicals.

I imagine most women don’t and most men probably do

Hell no - that's gross! In the sea, yes.

No. I go to the toilet before I get into the pool.

No way that's grim beyond belief

Only babies are allowed to wee in the pool because they produce teeny tiny wees not massive big 3 beer wees.

Yuk

That is truly disgusting

NO I don't. And I ALWAYS shower properly before entering the pool. People who lather with suntan lotion, lie there sweating as sunbathing, and jump directly in pool are almost as disgusting as those who pee in.

No never

which is a health risk!

Exactly. It’s like the litter threads, or the poo bags hung from trees. Chances are nobody’s going to admit to being a peeping tom either, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

This post is the reason we only holiday in private villas with private pools.

Grim 🤮

Eeeeeeee no, no, NO!
Sea, yes.
Pool most definitely not! That disgusting... I really hope most people don't do that?!

That's a revolting thought.
The pool with a swim-up bar, not the peeing in the pool. That's a revolting fact, unfortunately

Sea yes, pool no. That's disgusting. You should get out to use the loo and teach children to respect the communal space too.

Then how would they absorb the pee?

They don't. They catch poo.

In the sea, not a pool. My husband can’t even go in the sea!

I thought the same as OP on hols in March. People were drinking for hours at the swim up bars. I bet some of them were peeing. But, I couldn’t be bothered to be overly concerned. Swimming pools must be full of all sorts of bodily fluids, poo particles, snot, semen etc etc

I must say a family member of mine went away with their elderly grandparents and frankly them peeing in the pool would be preferable to the fact they 💩 in various places no fucks shits given. I’d no doubt some nuggets where in the pool even if technically in the swimwear.

but no I don’t pee in the sea or the pool or my own pool.

I remember being quite young and on holiday and weeing in the pool, something we were told never to do. My dad was in the pool with us and my mum asked when we got out if I had weed, I said no, but She caught me out, the coffee bar was around the pool and underneath with huge glass viewing panels and I had been right next to where she sat when I weed, she never referred to it again, jut I was so embarrassed, it never happened again!

They don’t exist.

We went to a lovely resort in Spain last summer with our kids and there was a gorgeous big pool with a cocktail bar. The toilets were close by and had tumbleweed blowing through them! I never had to queue for the toilet - not once. Even though the pool was always busy. And people were clearly drinking lots of water, etc as it was hot. I was fascinated....and turned off pools for life! I suppose there was an option to go back to your accommodation but that was a bit of a trek. Lots of families who stayed around the pool all day.

Everywhere else - restaurants, shopping centres, museums...there were people in and out of the toilets. But the pools...no.

And this was a very nice, upmarket Holiday Resort.

We all had a tummy bug by the end of the holiday and I'm convinced it was because of the pools.

No that’s really gross. 🤮
